ISLANDS

7/10 Though not the best album in the King Crimson catalog, it certainly isn't the worst. This album is indeed underrated. The first few songs flow together well, though if not super memorable. Next we'e got 'Ladies of the Road' which... is a groupie song, with some questionable lyric choices. The Prelude is very nice, and the title track is also very well done. Underrated King Crimson album, definitely worth checking out if you like Crimson's softer side. Overall pretty good, I re -listened to it recently, it's slightly better than I remember, 'Islands' is my favorite track.

Overall, it's a prettier Crimson album, still worth checking out if you enojoyed their other works, I've grown to appreciate it recently, Controversial take, but I'd put it above 'Starless and Bible Black' not by much, true, and this album is brought down a bit by some tracks, but I like it more.
